Title: Oh BoyAuthor: meatisadelicacyRating: PG(13?) for the use of the d-bombFandom: Guiding LightPairing: OtaliaSpoilers: NoneDisclaimer: All characters are property of P&G and Telenext. AN: I still can't believe Natalia's pregnant, but if she has to be with child, this is how I think it should go down.

“Oh boy,” Dr. Clarke said, her wide eyes darting back and forth between the patient’s belly and the monitor screen. “This is highly unusual.”

“What is?” Frank demanded, still sulking in the corner. Olivia rolled her eyes.

“Is everything okay? Is the baby healthy?” Natalia was lying on the bed, her pregnant abdomen the object of concern. Olivia placed her hand on her lover’s shoulder; the touch alone was enough to calm the younger woman’s racing heart.

“Yes, sorry. Everything is fine.” Dr. Clarke was quick to reassure all three would be parents that the pregnancy was moving along exactly as it should be. Removing the transducer, she stared at the gel coated end for a few moments, trying to figure out if what she thought was happening was really happening.

“Doctor,” Olivia’s voice startled her out of the intense scrutiny. “You just ‘oh boy-ed.’ Would you like to share with the rest of the group?” It wasn’t exactly a question.

“Does that mean it’s a boy?” Frank momentarily forgot he was supposed to be surly and pushed off against the wall, a dopey smile forming on his face. Natalia pinched the bridge of her nose as he approached the monitor. Olivia was practically growling at the suddenly ‘Proud Papa.’ Dickhead.

As if she could read minds, Natalia leaned over and smacked Olivia’s thigh. “Be nice!”

Frank didn’t notice. He was too busy starting at the screen of the 3-D Ultrasound. The details it provided were amazing. From how the baby was positioned right at that moment, they could all see it was most certainly not a boy.

“You’re the biological mother, correct?” Natalia thought that was painfully obvious, and the look she gave the obstetrician said as much. The doctor was quick to explain herself. “It’s just that sometimes with lesbian couples, one partner is impregnated with – ”

“Okay well, if we take a look here…” The doctor once again placed the transducer against warm skin, drawing everyone’s attention to the image on the screen. After a moment, the baby moved as if she was posing for the camera. There were simultaneous ‘awws’ from everyone in the room as they saw their baby’s beautiful face for the first time. Suddenly, like the baby sensed it was being watched, two bright green eyes opened, and a perfectly sculpted eyebrow arched high on a tiny forehead.

“What the hell?” Frank stumbled back from the screen like it was a grenade about to go off.

“That’s what I mean,” Dr. Clarke explained. “These machines aren’t even in color, but your baby clearly has green eyes.” They all kept staring at the monitor. “Not to mention the fact that she opened her eyes in the first place.”

“Oh boy,” Natalia said. If there was already that much attitude in a fetus, her teenage years were going to be hell.

“Jeez Natalia, are you sure I’m the father and not Olivia?” Frank’s bitter voice ruined yet another tender moment between the two women.

“We can do a DNA test. The baby is old enough now.” Dr. Clarke began cleaning up the equipment. Glancing up, the doctor saw Olivia’s eyebrow arched in the same manner towards Frank just as the baby had done moments earlier. “Or not…” It was painfully obvious who the baby’s other parent was.

Natalia sat up. “Doctor, as much as I’ve prayed otherwise, Olivia can’t biologically be the other parent.”

“Hey!” Frank squawked in indignation.

“Oh it’s entirely possible,” the doctor reassured them.

“How is that?” Natalia wanted an answer, and she wanted it now.

Turning to face the two women, she asked, “Have you two been having unprotected eye-sex?”

Frank threw up his arms and stomped out of the room. Olivia blushed scarlet, Natalia beamed, and two little in utero baby hands rubbed together in glee.
